violence
A mother displays emotionally abusive and controlling behaviours towards her husband and children including making cruel comments about her two daughters' weight.
language
Infrequent use of strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'shit', 'God', 'Jesus' and 'Christ'.
sex
There is a brief strong sex scene with buttock nudity and a glimpse of a man's penis in the post-coital aftermath. Moderate sex references include a man recounting how he gave a 'hand job' to a classmate at a party and an actress describing to a class of teenagers how she feels when she acts in sex scenes.
drugs
An older teenage boy shares a joint with his father, leading to him becoming intoxicated as a result.
sexual violence and sexual threat
Frequent references are made to an older woman's sexual relationship with a thirteen-year-old boy which resulted in them marrying and having children together. Although no child sexual abuse is seen on screen, the couple recall how their relationship developed and there are scenes exploring the psychological impact and trauma the abuse has had on the victim. An actress, researching the family for a film, appears to become aroused by their story and takes pleasure in reenacting the abusive scenarios. Undetailed verbal references are made to two brothers sexually abusing their younger sister.
